I'm fairly new to TGM but this post confuses me- I thought TGM was suppose to be difficult to understand? Are you sure you are not missing something here- or could it be that you are a Jedi Knight?

A hitter drives the club with his right arm ,hand shoulder.
A swinger pulls the handle and C/F takes over.
If your back stroke is long and reaches near parallel you are a swinger.
If it is short then you are probably a hitter.
Nick Price is a classic hitter.
Freddie Couples is a classic swinger.
The banter's great and all, but I still don't have any answers to my questions...
Bucket summed it up perfectly. If you're pulling the club -- doesn't matter which arm you feel you're pulling with -- then you're swinging. If you're pushing the club, then you're hitting.
Here's what the book has to say about the role of the right arm.

Without posting video of your swing, it'll be hard to get answers to a lot of your questions. My other post actually had a point, in that it doesn't matter all that much if you're a hitter or a swinger yet. You can get pretty far just working on the 3 imperatives
- flat left wrist
- lag pressure point
- straight plane line
You mentioned you cock both wrists; I would recommend searching for "flying wedges" and doing a little research there for starters.
This stuff is all a lot easier with face-to-face help from a TGM pro like Lynn or Ted.
